Saudi and UAE Advertising Standards

Tonight I was watching MBC 4 here and a commercial appeared for KFC. A mother and her toddler are sitting at a table. The toddler is whining and complaining whilst the mother is trying to eat some KFC. The mother then gives some KFC to the child who is then quiet.

Goodness - would an Australian, or UK, or New Zealand or even US advertising agency dare to try that content in an advertisement in those markets?
